Chapter 197: Ideas and Obsessions
The restoration of the village is proceeding in an orderly manner, the houses destroyed by the invaders are gradually returning to their original state, and although there are many Konoha ninjas killed in the Konoha Collapse Plan, it is not to the point where the village is completely unable to function.

However, the number of missions will not decrease due to the decrease in ninjas, so many ninjas who should be idle have to be busy during this time.
Izumi is one of them, but although she reluctantly goes out on a mission when she has just become a lover with Iruka and is about to consolidate this hard-won relationship, she does not take on the difficult tasks that she should accept as an elite shinobi and requires a period of time to complete the village, but chooses tasks that can be completed in a short time, such as clearing out bandits, escorting officials, and killing wild boars that destroy crops.
Of course, Kakashi, Akai and Baiyun Yeshan, who are also elite shinobi, can't be as willful as Izumi, after all, Izumi has Iruka's backing behind her, and the high-level Konoha who knows Iruka's unfathomable strength will naturally not embarrass her.
The days are gradually returning to calm, but that doesn't mean that Iruka's daily routine hasn't changed in the slightest.
"I said Izumi, don't you want to say it's sleepwalking again?"
Iruka said helplessly to Izumi who was lying in his arms at this time.
Since that day when they knew each other's hearts and became lovers, Iruka could feel the heaviness on his body every morning as soon as he regained consciousness, of course, it wasn't that he and Izumi had already stepped on that line, and Izumi hadn't stepped on the adult ladder, in fact, they still slept separately now...... At least sleep separately at night until the lights go out......
"Hee-hee-......" Izumi raised her head, her face was filled with a delicate smile, but she didn't mean to get up: "What you think is what you are, Iruka-sensei, you seem to be used to this kind of daily life, obviously at the beginning, I always wanted to sneak up while I didn't wake up." ”
"Were you really awake at the time?"
Iruka said angrily, but Izumi naturally ignored his dissatisfaction, only to see her hands on Iruka's chest, holding her cheeks, a touch of intoxicating blush appeared on her delicate little face, as if she could speak, her big eyes were opposite Iruka's dead fish eyes, and her warm breath slapped on Iruka's scarred face, making Iruka's face a little unnatural.
The atmosphere became beautiful for a while, Iruka was not used to this atmosphere, just as he was about to propose to get up, Izumi suddenly stretched out his hand, put it on Iruka's face, red lips lightly opened, and said softly:
"Now, Iruka, let's kiss."
…………………………………………
Izumi went out on a mission, as one of the top combat forces in the village, she couldn't talk to Iruka alone at home when others were busy, and Iruka, who had just lost her first kiss, was disturbed by Sasuke who suddenly came to visit before she could savor the wonderful feeling that made his heart beat faster.
"It's been a long time, Sasuke, is there anything to do with me?"
Iruka poured Sasuke a cup of tea, and then asked softly, although Sasuke is one of his most valued students, but he is usually busy with cultivation, and rarely comes to him directly, even if he comes, there is basically something that needs his help, purely the number of visits to him is only once or twice, so Iruka subconsciously thinks that Sasuke has encountered some difficulties in cultivation again.
However, Sasuke came just in time, and Iruka was planning to test Sasuke's chakra level and estimate what he would be able to achieve the standard of cultivation freedom, so as not to miss the best time to cultivate.
Sasuke nodded, and then said something to Iruka who was about to turn on the perception of the position that he was a little unexpected:
"Iruka-sensei, I think I've found my own philosophy."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Iruka couldn't help but interrupt the use of his ability, and then looked at him in some surprise, and after coming back to his senses, Iruka's face gradually appeared with interest: "Interesting, let's talk about it." ”
Sasuke picked up the teacup and took a sip lightly, as if organizing the language, and after putting it in the teacup, he exhaled lightly and then said:
"From the bond between Shiro and Zai Buchi, the question of protection that you asked me to think about when Iruka-sensei made me think about it, to the feelings that welled up in my heart when Sakura-chan was almost killed by Orochimaru, and then to the despair that pervades the real ninja world with Sensei String Moon, and finally ...... Itachi's pain, my thoughts about peace, and my choice of choices, I tried to think about these experiences from an absolute point of view, as Iruka-sensei said, and then I came to the conclusion that ......"
After a pause, Sasuke's face suddenly froze, and then he said slowly in Iruka's shocked gaze:
"The world is full of wars, beliefs, terrorism, discrimination, corruption, and so on, and all the problems are rooted in the human heart, everyone has their own opinions, different dreams, different cognitions, and reality cannot accommodate everyone's ideas, so there must be something to be sacrificed, such as ...... The Uchiha clan. ”
"I see, you know the truth......"
Iruka sighed slightly, although he knew that Sasuke would know the truth sooner or later, but he didn't expect this day to come so quickly, he didn't know if it was a good thing or a bad thing, after all, although he could judge a person's strength with his ability, he couldn't judge a person's mind.
Sasuke's way of thinking when he opened the spirit realm at the age of 7 cannot be measured by ordinary people's standards, so even if he can't predict the growth rate of his mind, if Sasuke knows the truth when his mind is still immature, God knows if he will have endless resentment towards the village because of the experience of Itachi, who gave everything for him, and finally be completely swallowed by this resentment.
If things get to that point, Iruka's promise to protect Konoha in order to repay the three generations will make him have to destroy the student who is closest to perfection with his own hands, and his hopes that he will grow into an absolute powerhouse with strength, will, and ideas.
Although there is only a one-word difference between ideas and obsessions, they are both factors that can drive a person to become stronger, but the essence is worlds apart, and Iruka doesn't want Sasuke to get obsessions under his guidance.
However, although I don't know how Sasuke met Itachi, judging from Sasuke's reaction at this time, things are not going in a bad direction.
